Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application in Industry-1-] The present invention relates to a medical record card that records and holds medical data such as an insurance card, a medical record, and medical examination data.

[Prior Art] Currently, insurance cards, medical records, health certificates, etc. are issued separately by different institutions.

That is, an insurance card is issued by a social insurance office or the like, a medical record is issued by each medical institution where the patient is examined, and a health certificate is issued by the institution where the person undergoes the medical examination. Usually, these documents are issued according to their own formats, and there is no uniformity. Furthermore, the medical record is stored at the medical institution where the patient is examined, and is issued separately if the patient is examined at another medical institution.

By the way, when a patient receives treatment at a medical institution, a new medical record is created. In this case, the patient's medical history, constitution,
Family circumstances, etc. are obtained during the doctor's rounds and recorded in the medical record. However, especially when it comes to medical history, it is often the case that the patient forgets or has an unclear memory, or that the expression is inaccurate due to a lack of medical knowledge. In this case, it would be convenient if the doctor currently examining the patient could refer to medical records created in the past, since necessary information could be obtained without relying on the patient's memory.

In addition, if you can refer to various test results from past medical treatments, test results from health checkups, etc. at the time of medical examination, you will be able to accurately judge the condition by comparing them with the current test results, and it will also be possible for patients to avoid unnecessary It has the advantage of being able to omit testing and reducing the burden.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, at present, there is no systematic practice of referring to medical records, health certificates, etc. prepared by other medical institutions during medical examinations. Not yet.

The reason for this is that medical records are written on paper, which makes them unsuitable for exchange between medical institutions.
This is thought to be due to the problem of complicating administrative work. In this case, it is conceivable that each medical institution issues a copy of the medical record to the patient, but copying the medical record for each medical treatment would complicate administrative work and would be difficult to implement. Furthermore, there are cases where it is inappropriate for the patient to know the contents of the medical record, and this also makes it difficult to implement.

Furthermore, since medical records are stored for a certain period of time, medical institutions are required to maintain and manage a large number of medical records.

Furthermore, when a patient undergoes a re-examination at the same medical institution, the medical institution must search for the patient's medical records from a large number of medical record groups. Storage, management, and retrieval of these medical records places a heavy burden on medical administration. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to introduce a system that imposes additional burdens.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and allows medical history, medical history, health diagnosis data, etc. to be recorded without the patient knowing the contents, and these data can be used commonly by each medical institution. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medical record card that can improve the accuracy of diagnosis, improve the efficiency of medical administration, and reduce the burden of testing on patients. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a medical record card that records and holds medical data such as insurance cards, medical records, and health examination data. A visual information section that records and retains medical data in a viewable state, a microfiche section that records and retains medical data as analog information, and an optical recording medium section that records and retains medical data as digital information are assembled on a card board. A medical record card characterized in that it is configured by being provided with.

[Operation] The visual information section can be printed, for example, by ordinary printing, stamping, etc.
Keep records of medical data in a visible state, e.g.
The cardholder's identification information, such as name, date of birth, gender, etc., is made easy to read with the naked eye.

The microfiche section records and holds medical data such as X-ray photographs as analog information. Furthermore, unlike digital storage, the microfiche section is not completely unreadable, so it is suitable for recording and holding particularly important information. Moreover, since the information can be easily read out using a simple microfiche league, it is suitable for storing urgently needed information and formal matters such as the vehicle size stated on the insurance card.

The optical recording medium section converts medical data into digital information and records and holds this digital information as an optical change pattern. The optical change pattern is formed by making the heights of reflectance, transmittance, etc. correspond to "1" and "O" of digital information. In this case, since a dedicated reading device is required, it is possible to write information that the patient does not want to know. Also, because the information is digitized, error correction techniques are available and, within certain limits, the information can be reproduced accurately. Furthermore, information can be recorded in encrypted form, making it possible to protect privacy.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Configuration of Example> FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an example of the medical record card of the present invention.

The visual information section 2 is provided as a grouped area in a part of the substrate 1, and displays information convenient for visual inspection, such as name, date of birth, and blood type. Although various means such as printing and engraving can be applied to display the information, in this embodiment, the information is displayed by printing.

The microfiche section 3 is provided by attaching a sheet-like microfilm, which is a photographed image of an object, to the window section 5 of the substrate 1. The objects of this micro 74791 part 3 include photographs such as X-ray photographs, health insurance card number, expiration date, identification of the individual and family members, and other data. Further, medical history information necessary in an emergency, for example, display of serious diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, presence or absence of preventive injections, and display of allergies to medicines, etc., can be considered.

The optical recording medium section 4 is formed by adhering an optical recording medium to a part of the substrate l by means of pasting, coating, or the like. As this medium, for example, a material is selected that can change the reflectance by melting or blackening the irradiated portion by irradiating it with a laser beam or the like. In this embodiment, a material that can locally form a bit by melting is selected.

Simply speaking, a digital value can be expressed by the presence or absence of this bit, but more precisely, a digital value can be expressed by a combination of the presence or absence of multiple bits, so-called FM.
